If andbody has done this switch and found a drive line that fits, thaty would be great. Of course there's always the problem of finding that particular driveline, but you never know. thanks joethehuman

The shop that did it is in Kingston, so if you don't mind a short ferry ride you should be able to get yours done cheap too.

All I need now is a driveline to shorten. I suppose any 60 -66 1/2 ton would be a good candidate.Would it have to be a 1/2 ton?
